Platforms like Uber, Lyft and DoorDash emerged big winners from the 2020 election when California voters approved Proposition 22.

But now, we’re seeing signals the companies and labor unions might be willing to talk to head off more Prop 22-style battles. Meghan McCarty Carino speaks with Josh Eidelson, who covers labor for Bloomberg. He said despite the platforms’ victory, there’s still incentive to negotiate.
